2018 MIDTERM ELECTION

Jeffrey Young Presents: JUST IN TIME!! (a continuing series)

While some people spend their lives in search of the Holy Grail or the Lost City of Atlantis, Huffington Post healthcare reporter Jeffrey Young has spent the past year and a half on a Lifelong Quest to discover the elusive, mysterious Republican Replacement Plan for the Affordable Care Act.

Don't worry, I haven't spoiled it for you; by my count the JUST IN TIME!! collection includes well over 50 entries so far (perhaps not coincidentally, around the same number of times that the House of Representatives has voted to repeal the ACA to date), including this one from yesterday:

But the House plans would undo the entire Affordable Care Act in 2017, Boustany said. Not coincidentally, that's after the next round of congressional elections, and when the U.S. could have a Republican president. That commander in chief would get to unveil the long-awaited GOP plan to replace Obamacare, a mere seven years after the Affordable Care Act became law and the first promises were made of a replacement plan.

"We're taking care of people who are going to get hurt, initially," Boustany said. "Secondly, we're creating a bridge to help the states deal with the fiasco. And we have a sunset provision for Obamacare so that the American people get to have that say again after the presidential election. You tee it up for the next president."

Anyone want to place bets on how many entries his collection tops out at?
